Hi all,
I'm sure I have missed something simple (or done something stupid) but
have no idea what so I'll ask anyhow.
All the computers on our SOHO network had static addresses in the
192.168.0.1-9 range with netmask of 255.255.255.0 and all worked fine
for ages. Now I have a Linksys gateway which has a default address of
192.168.1.1 for configuration. It works fine as a DSL router but I
cannot use a browser to access the configuration. All I get is "An
error occurred while loading http://192.168.1.1: Could not connect to
host." Pinging returns "Destination Host Unreachable".
I changed the netmask for the ethx device to 255.255.0.0 but this made
no difference. What have I forgotten?
This doesn't help as the linksys most probably has netmask of
255.255.255.0 what will help on the other hand is to make eth0:1
interface in which you will give ip-address in 192.168.1.0 network. For
example /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfc-eth0:1 could look like
this, if you are using NetworkManager there is probably some other way
of doing this, but as I use fedora for desktop so little I haven't
really checked it out.
DEVICE=eth0:1
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR=192.168.1.2
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
TYPE=Ethernet
And then ifup eth0:1 (if it doesn't work service network restart will
for sure.)
Hope this helps,
Veli-Pekka
